Kate Walsh may only play a doctor on TV, but that doesn't mean we're not listening to what the Private Practice star bravely has to say. Especially about Hollywood women who need to eat as well as start avoiding plastic surgery.

So, when the 44-year-old star recently posed nude for Shape magazine, Walsh not only explained why she stripped, but those very opinionated Oscar-night words about women slicing themselves up in this town:

"I was really, really excited about [posing nude]," Kate gushed regarding her au natural moves at Shape mag's recent Bar Marmont party. Walsh emphasized she was "happy" with her bod and she "wanted to get the story out there: Any shape is great as long as you're healthy inside."

Remember, when Walsh spoke out passionately on Oscar night, she tweeted during the show and begged actresses to stop messing with their faces.

And she was hardly finished, later tweeting "word" back at a fan who posted a message saying starlets should also "eat a burger and look like a woman again."

"I would be lying if I said I didn't start with my body," Kate explained, when we asked her to comment on those outspoken tweets. "I think all women have body issues at some point or other, nobody tells us everything changes constantly and ages and I think that it's time to tell a different story of aging in our culture."
